  1. Ultimate Band is a great title for those who have been daunted by the idea of using up limited space with extra gaming peripherals. The only downfall to the additional instruments is that playing multiplayer may be a little bit more difficult if you don’t have a full compliment of Wii Remotes and Nunchuks.
  2. Keep expectations in check, and your band should have a good time, even if it’s nowhere near the “ultimate” music game experience.

There's no "singing" in the game... just "frontman" controller wiggling that was no fun. Games aren't suppose to make kids sad. Full Review »

    THIS is what elementary age kids should be playing instead of Guitar Hero! More age appropriate graphics and songs. It would be more fun with THIS is what elementary age kids should be playing instead of Guitar Hero! More age appropriate graphics and songs. It would be more fun with a guitar accessory, but all 4 of my kids love it and can play all at once, ages 6-12. Full Review »
